Sant'Antonio

Cherry red Valpolicella with a pleasantly light scent of currants and raspberries. Very harmonious and discreet on the palate, velvety and fruity in the finish. An ideal food companion, due to its slimmer kind also good for lunch. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, clear ruby red. In the nose after sugared cherries, tender plum and some violet. Juicy palate with dancing acidity, fine play, high drinking flow, slightly salty in the final." Falstaff

"Medium-light red; plant-red fruity; intense fruit, partly raspberry, partly plant-green, appealing, fine astringency and spice. Merum

Pale yellow, crystalline colour, harmonious scent of citrus fruits, especially grapefruit. Powerful on the palate, fresh, long-lasting and with a wonderful almond and pepper note accompanied by mineral aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

Wonderfully complex Soave from vines over 20 years old. Sparkling light yellow with green reflections. Bouquet of bitter almond, flint, fruit jam with white and yellow pulp, dried fruit and pastry. On the palate it is dry, warm and soft, yet fresh, spicy and slightly astringent, with a full, balanced body. With increasing aeration it reveals its great complexity. SUPERIORE.DE

Very warm, velvety and typical of the variety, Monti Garbi presents itself with the aromas of ripe red fruits and a beautiful balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"A delicious drive of juicy dark fruit, polished chocolate, liquorice and tar; intense and concentrated with long, savoury finish." Decanter

"A tangy red with red plums, fresh herbs and citrus. Taut and medium-bodied, but generous and round. Zippy and precise on the finish. Delicious." James Suckling

Dark ruby red. La Bandina is a parade-Valpolicella with a very complex, nuanced bouquet of small wild berries, cherries, liquorice and tobacco. The palate is fresh, balsamic and warm with a dark bouquet of forest fruits, chocolate, coffee and plum. In the long finish with a very balanced acid tannin framework and an impressive depth. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep, rich ruby red. In the nose at first spicy and delicately cascaded, opens on Amarena cherries and plums, has something of fumé, in the aftertaste after coffee chocolate. Very rich palate, again notes of coffee, toasted, spreads widely, full sip with a long finish". Falstaff

"Pretty blue fruit, such as violets, blueberries and lavender, lingers on the nose. Hints of dried herbs. Medium-bodied, firm and balanced with persistent, vibrant acidity tracing a tidy shape." James Suckling

Amarone Selezione Antonio Castagnedi delivers high quality for its price every year: diverse aromas of violets, graphite, black cherries and minerals and a lively, structured, down-to-earth style. This richness and depth make it the perfect companion to winter cuisine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep dark garnet. Lush berry nose of wild berries, lush raspberry, a hint of strawberry candy and young rose petal. Balanced and polished on the palate, showing savory fruit, comforting flow, with juicy tension and a long finish." Falstaff

"The 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Antonio Castagnedi balances dark ripe fruits, sweet spices and rich mocha with savory herbs and violet florals. It’s a silky and energetic effort with cooling acids and minerals, coloring within the lines of refinement while still satiating the senses with masses of ripe black cherries. A bit of heat pokes out through on the finish, yet this is forgivable in my book, as the Antonio Castagnedi tapers off fresh to inner violet florals and a bitter twang of wild berries." Vinous

The star from Tenuta Sant'Antonio: A rich dark ruby red, its scent of wild fruits, black pepper, tobacco and spices is a delight for the nose. Fruity and full-bodied, yet velvety and very sophisticated in its character - an austere, elegant Amarone, whose terrificfinish is accompanied by noble tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aged three years in tonneaux and produced with a minimum of added sulphur - and that's an achievement in Amarone: clean-bodied nose, warm-scented black cherries, herbs and dark chocolate; pithy construction with robust, crisp tannins, shows character through to the final." Vinum

"This is quite an unusual Amarone with plenty of black pepper, blackberry bush and eucalyptus, punctuating an otherwise blackberry-focused nose. peppery and spicy. Full-bodied, open-knit and fruit-forward. Juicy on the finish." James Suckling

"The 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Campo dei Gigli is youthfully inward and understated with a display of mineral-tinged blackberries, dried flowers and hints of animal musk. The textures are silky, ushering in a balanced mix of savory red fruits, wild herbs and inner florals that amass toward the close. Cooling acids linger, adding freshness as notes of hard red candies and a hint of licorice slowly taper off." Vinous
